Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 556 - Thanked God for Having Mercy

Chapter 556: Thanked God for Having Mercy

This was simply terrific!
Granny Yu knew Song Wenye received the news as well. With swollen eyes, she cheerfully said, “Yes, yes, it is.”
Xi had finally found his birth parents and his birth parents were such kindhearted people. What could be better news than this?
“Granny, I’m going with you.” Song Wenye wiped away her tears. There was no way she was going to miss such a heartfelt moment. She had to be there to witness it all.
Granny Yu responded, “Would it keep you from your work?”
Song Wenye shook her head. “No. I’ll depart from there tomorrow.”
Feeling at ease, Granny Yu nodded. “Okay.”
The girl was a poor child too as her parents substituted affection with money. Granny Yu’s heart went out to Song Wenye for living on her own. Since her pets were boarded with Granny Yu, Song Wenye could stay here instead of returning home.
She was fond of the sensible, kind, and sweet kid with a jolly soul. Rather than having Song Wenye live alone, Granny Yu welcomed Song Wenye to keep her company every day.
Song Wenye made up her mind to fly with Granny Yu to Yu Yuanxi’s filming set to celebrate the great news.
Meanwhile, many at the production set were sharing their inputs in hushed voices after witnessing the family reunion. Apart from Wang Cai, the associate director, makeup artist, Zhou Zhen, and Ruan Sisi, no one else knew about Shen Xi’s other identity.
This lot was deliberating Yu Yuanxi’s position. Wang Cai and the associate director knew that he was an orphan and lived together with his grandma. Since Yu Yuanxi identified his biological family, he was now Ms. Cai Ni’s older brother.
Everyone knew who Ms. Cai Ni was. She established her own haute couture brand, Jin Yun, and the brand had really taken off. It was only a matter of time before her design label swept the whole world. It was said that the owner was not Ms. Cai Ni but her mother.
It would place Yu Yuanxi standing high in society. They never looked down on Yu Yuanxi for where he came from, but his sudden gain of connections and status was something worth considering.
Zhou Zhen was way ahead of herself. She had decided to get along well with Yu Yuanxi since Ms. Cai Ni was a fan of his so she could ease her way straight to Ms. Cai Ni’s good books. Now that she found out that he was Ms. Cai Ni’s brother, Zhou Zhen must make sure to keep a good relationship with him.
The person with the most activities going through his mind was He Xiang. The artist working under him went from a rookie with no connections or social standing to an older brother of a corporate big shot. This was amazing news to him as he needed not to worry about resources from now on.
Now that the Shen family found their long-lost son, Yu Yuanxi was bound to be compensated. He would have dibs on all the nicest things and best resources.
As for the others in the production team, they had no idea who Shen Xi was except that she was a fan of Yu Yuanxi who played the role of a beggar much to Mr. Wang’s delight. Despite them bouncing off intel with each other, no one was able to come close to a reliable conclusion.
Standing by He Xiang, Ruan Sisi nervously stared at the door and counted the minutes when the people behind the door would reappear. It did not take long before her idol and Yu Yuanxi walked out one after the other. She wanted to go up to them but was held back by He Xiang.
Having seen it all, Shen Xi was able to stomach the turn of events and pulled herself together.
Yu Yuanxi took most things light-heartedly but took his work seriously. He was able to shake off his feelings and get down to business.
It was a different story with Yun Jinping. She was happy, excited, and worried to have found her son. How was she supposed to calm down? Yun Jinping wanted nothing more than to stay by his side without leaving even for one second.
Yu Yuanxi could feel her eyes lingering over him, afraid he might disappear into thin air if she looked away for one minute.
Shen Xi walked ahead before turning back to hold Yun Jinping by the arm and whispering in her ear. “Mom, my brother’s not going anywhere.”
She could sense the tension, worry, and fear in Mom. Mom’s worst fears were that this was all a dream, and everything would disappear when she woke up.
“I know.” Yun Jinping dug her nails in her palm to feel pain. She was not dreaming.
“I’ll tell the director after my scene to give Brother the day off. We should have some family time,” Shen Xi uttered.
Yun Jinping was concerned. “Would your brother think I’m disrupting his work?”
Shen Xi answered, “I’ll go and ask him.”
Yun Jinping cautiously stole a glance at Yu Yuanxi and pulled Shen Xi aside. “Maybe it’s best if we don’t do that. Let your brother get on with work. We will have time sooner or later for a get-together.”
Shen Xi broke into a smile. “Granny Yu, Dad, and Song Wenye are coming over. A couple of scenes won’t make a difference anyway. I’m sure the director wouldn’t mind a change of schedule.”
Yun Jinping bobbed her head at last. “Okay, you should ask him.”
She was afraid he might reject her despite knowing that the child was not that kind of person. Still, insecurities plagued Yun Jinping as she imagined scenarios about doing wrong by Yu Yuanxi and upsetting him.
Shen Xi went on to inquire about Yu Yuanxi’s opinion before giving Yun Jinping the OK gesture. Shen Xi seemed to have become the mouthpiece between them.
Feeling assured, Yun Jinping smiled warmly at the two children. It was great that Lil’ Yu turned out to be her son.
She knew it. She was drawn to the child from the first time she met him and it turned out that he was her son, the one they had been searching for for over a decade.
She thanked God for having mercy and granting her wish.
It never occurred to Wang Cai that the pair were able to get over their personal affairs rather quickly. Yu Yuanxi had personally approached him to take some time off. Of course, he was not going to say no and even gave him two days since the family reunion was a joyous occasion.
Nevertheless, Yu Yuanxi said that he only needed one day, which was today. Wang Cai was impressed by his professionalism as actors nowadays took upon more productions at the same time and did not stick around in one long enough.
Wang Cai intentionally hired fresh faces so they would be available 24 hours a day on set. Otherwise, a D-list actor would yield more power than a nameless director like him.
With Shen Xi and Yu Yuanxi stating they were fine to do the scene, Wang Cai trusted them to move forward with the shoot.
Wang Cai was extra fascinated by the scene. His eyes lit up as the pair were into their characters, bringing their roles to life, more so than before the family reunion took place. His breath was taken away by their remarkable acting!
